Ghost Manor #63 [1982]

From deep in the heart of Charlton's long mostly-reprint era, a couple of minor Ditko pieces from just a few years earlier in this issue, starting with the cover, which is from GHOST MANOR #28 [1976]. A decent generic horror cover of a man being confronted by something seen only by its shadow in an attic.

Later in the issue is the single page story "Lost Mine" from GHOST MANOR #30 [1976]. A nice little vignette about two prospectors who find a rich vein of gold in the Grand Canyon back in the wild west, and what their greed caused. Nothing special, but interesting to note that there's a lot of the story not directly told in the captions that the art does a good job of filling in.
